A narrow anomaly detector scoped to reconciliation alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at logistics dispatchers, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Logistics Reconciler is an anomaly detector aimed at logistics dispatchers, covering reconciliation. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (94) and held back by open field (40). Typical pricing is $14k–$211k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $4.5k–$13k.
Logistics teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow anomaly detector scoped to reconciliation alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Logistics is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
